Diagnose me, /b/ (long list ahead, running up against character limit):
>Mid-20s
>Southern hemisphere country
>Drink maybe 1-2 nights a month max, no other drugs/meds
>Sometimes suspect people are conspiring against me, occasionally believe it
>Suspect people are listening in via my phone's microphone, get on edge when I hear police sirens, etc. Occasionally thought my room's been bugged, for no real reason.
>No social life. Completely lost contact with friends, and ignore calls from family if I can get away with it. Mix of not caring, and feeling like they're luring me into a trap when they try and get friendly. Basically anti-lonely, even the rare contact I have with people seems too much.
>Almost no emotions but weak amusement, except when drunk/hungover
>No facial expressions, except when laughing or amused
>Some depersonalisation/derealisation shit:
>>Feels like I'm in a glass box
>>World looks bland, tunnel vision, constantly goes in and out of focus
>>Attention problems, varies from mild to crippling
>>Sometimes feel like I'm on autopilot
>>Feel disconnected from the few emotions I have, like they're not mine
>>Gaps in autobiographical memory, feel disconnected from my past, general knowledge unaffected
>>Generally don't feel like I have an identity, hard to imagine my own future.
>>View people as automatons, empathy and compassion seem incomprehensible
>Interests have changed (listening to music I used to hate, older favourites seems unfamiliar or boring)
>Changes in sexual preference/fetishes (done nothing illegal, some very taboo fantasies though), but no interest in sex beyond jerking/fantasy
>No problem with being inconsiderate or rude in public, don't care what people think of me unless it has practical consequences
All symptoms started in the last year and a half or so. I get mild episodes of seasonal depression (diagnosed) during the early summer, but all these symptoms are there before, during, and after, so it doesn't seem related.
Pic unrelated.

I've considered it, but I'm not so sure. Seems like too many people people just use "depression" to mean pretty much any mental weirdness that they can't categorise, even if the person wouldn't be diagnosed with it by a trained psychiatrist. I'm willing to bet that a lot of the self-diagnosed depression cases out there are actually DPDR or something.
